He drowned a few hours before Sunday's downpour
The body of a 13-year-old boy who allegedly drowned himself Sunday was discovered in Ashaiman.
Traditional rites were practiced by the Ashaiman Division Council before the body was removed from the water.
The woman of the region's badembly, Evelyn Aikins, called Chief Ashaiman to perform the customary rites.
The boy and five of his friends went swimming yesterday at the site of the Ashaiman Dam in Lebanon, when he drowned with five other friends.
He drowned a few hours before the Sunday downpour that killed at least five people.
One of the deceased's friends only reported his disappearance the next day because he was scared.
"There was no one at home at the time and they were also scared," he told Citi News.
Francis Baidoo, area director of the National Disaster Management Organization in Ashaiman, said his outfit would ensure the removal of the body.
NADMO was on an badessment of the area after Sunday night's rush when he arrived at the scene.
"From there, we will make sure the body is taken. We will ensure that environmental experts also spray the area so that this place is very safe for others. "
